Libertas University

[EduCativ]

Libertas International University is the oldest private university in Croatia. It developed out of Libertas Business School in Zagreb and DIU Libertas International University in Zagreb and Dubrovnik. In 2016, these two institutions merged, and today Libertas International University comprises four faculties and a business school.
We are a higher education institution that offers lifelong knowledge, skills, and competencies. To educate competitive graduates of university and professional study programs, following the needs of our environment and market, at the right time and with the right people. Classes at Libertas are held in Zagreb, Dubrovnik, and Kutina, with the difference that all the classes in Dubrovnik are held in English, while the classes in Zagreb and Kutina are in Croatian.
Full-time and part-time students are given a choice between seven undergraduate, four graduate, one postgraduate specialist, and one postgraduate doctoral study program. This means that at Libertas, students have the opportunity to study from the undergraduate to the doctoral level – an opportunity not given by any other private higher education institution in Croatia. So far, the opportunities that Libertas offers have been welcomed by students from Croatia and 30 other countries from all over the world.
At Libertas, classes are taught in small groups, and knowledge is acquired through an active approach to relevant topics. Students are equal participants in the process of education and not merely passive observers that reproduce other people’s knowledge and ideas. Teamwork is emphasized, but at the same time, special attention is paid to an individualized approach to every student, their intellectual needs, and affinities.
The biggest strength of Libertas is its distinguished professors who possess outstanding academic and professional experience. The Libertas team of renowned international scholars includes professors that have taught or are currently teaching at Harvard University, Princeton University, Georgetown University, London School of Economics, Sorbonne University, New York University, Virginia School of Law, and other leading institutions of higher education in Europe, the United States and other parts of the world. Besides, it includes present and former ambassadors, ministers, economists, executive directors, international law experts, military generals, artistic directors, representatives to the UN, OSCE, the IMF, and other prominent international institutions. This combination of academic excellence and real-world experience ensures that our study programs balance the theoretical with the practical.
Because of our dedicated and distinguished faculty, and because of the adoption of the most contemporary teaching methods, the university educates professionals who are ready to take on leading positions in diplomacy, business, tourism and hospitality, theater, the health industry, sports management, and business security. Many Libertas alumni already hold essential positions in business, diplomacy, banking, politics, sports management, and tourism in Croatia and abroad. Out of several thousand alumni, more than 94% of them have found employment and are building successful careers.
Libertas International University in Dubrovnik offers a unique educational environment for students of the undergraduate study program of International Relations (Diplomacy) and graduate study program of International Relations and Diplomacy. Although the curriculum is the same in Zagreb and Dubrovnik, studying in Dubrovnik provides a unique experience to students, because of the city’s central, historic and several-century-long role in diplomacy and trade. Located in the beautiful, historical Dominican monastery, the teaching and learning facilities in Dubrovnik offer an international atmosphere to its students and faculty from different countries. Students from around 30 different countries have been enrolled in one of our programs. Besides, they get to live and experience everything that a beautiful city of Dubrovnik and the Mediterranean coast have to offer.
